WORST DOCTORS OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE REAL HEALTH CONCERNS BECAUSE…read moreTHEY DON'T LISTEN. I'm so glad that I finally left this office because I have been waiting to write this review for years. I have lived all over the country and have had over a dozen doctors and this is by far the worst healthcare I have ever experienced. I would not recommend this facility to ANYONE. I feel it is necessary to share my experience if it helps someone make the decision not to go here. My last visit with them, towards the end of 2022, was the absolute final straw. I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (type III) that affects my connective tissue, causes chronic joint and muscle pain, and impacts many of my bodily functions. It is a rare and under-researched disease that progresses with age, so a lot of what I am experiencing is very new. Every monthly appointment, I have something new to discuss with my provider, including muscle tension/spasms, urinary and gastrointestinal issues, pelvic floor issues, and extremely painful periods. I have been particularly dealing with digestive issues lately, having little appetite, getting full after two bites, suffering from constipation, and losing 30 pounds without trying in just a few months. I asked for a referral to a GI doctor and while explaining my symptoms, my provider, Roshani, told me that I am "overthinking my symptoms". I was bewildered. How could she look at my chart and see a 30 pound weight loss and tell me I'm overthinking it? It is so incredibly frustrating to know something is wrong with my body but not know what it is and to have minimal support from the person whose job it is to help me. I am in pain constantly, developing new problems every day, and trying to figure them out myself. In fact, Roshani didn't even know what my disorder was until I explained it to her. She clearly doesn't have any education on it because if she did, she would know that my symptoms are very real and all related to my EDS. I had long sensed that she didn't take me seriously, and this incident confirmed it. This caused me to finally switch doctors after 4 years of negative experiences with CBC. In fact, there are so many that I can't even fit them all into one Yelp review, so I took screenshots of the rest. Feel free to read the attached photos that discuss several other incidents that led up to one big incident of the old office manager, Chen, acting incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful towards me. I will note I have never had any personal issues with anyone else in this office, the ladies at the front are very kind, but Chen (who has since been replaced) and Roshani were both extremely unprofessional and horrible to deal with. It blows my mind that this office is still running. I switched to Lahey, who listened and empathized with all of my concerns, and after just one visit, I had several referrals. I wish I switched years ago, maybe my symptoms wouldn't have progressed so badly if I had been appropriately helped when I needed it.

CBC Medical Center & Walk In Facility went way out of their way to give me the medical care I…read moreneeded on Wednesday, August 17, 2016. My Primary Care, Julie, got the ball rolling with me even though she was supposed to be on Lunch break. If you ask me that is dedication to her patients and practice. I was in for a routine physical and because of my conditions I had to have a few extra tests done aside from the average patient physical. 8/17/16 I was back in CBC's office this morning and I had another great experience with staff going out of their way to help me get what I needed. Irma and Marla are the greatest they are always so pleasant and helpful. I ran into a slight problem with one of my treatments and the insurance company but Julie and Irma figured out a way to resolve it. All in all these past two visits in the past two days have been a great experience for me. Every visit is always pleasant and very helpful and informative. All of the staff are very nice and helpful and you can ask them any question you may have and feel comfortable. They don't judge they are just there to help you and provide for your needs and answer any question that you have. My experiences have always been great coming here for my medical care. So needless to say I am very happy with the service I received. 5s in my book!!! J. Borden P.S. I felt it necessary so I filled this review out in the doctors office parking lot when I left the office! Ok time to drive now. Thanks for the great service!!!

I decide to call my Dr. Grieveson that I haven't seen in over a year(due to never getting sick ) I called because I woke up screaming in pain and wanted to know if I should rush to the er. The person who answered the phone was so rude could care less didn't not help or guide in the right direction actually told they couldn't do anything for me because I hadn't seen them in over a year ! This proves to me there is no humanity which is just sad . Do yourself a favor and don't go to this Dr. when someone is sick and in pain scared you'd like to think you're calling a caring facility this is not it !!!!!! A lot of the elderly have this man as a Dr. I can't imagine how they are treated .

Why is this medical practice the best place to receive care? 3 words, Doctor John Grieveson. Why?…read moreBecause he really listens and his knowledge in the field of internal medicine is excellent. I have received excellent care for many years and would never change my physician. He evaluates all input and information available making appropriate care decisions available at his practice or recommends specialists, writes orders for lab work, testing, x-ray, MRI, etc. He has properly diagnosed all my conditions (and I have had quite a few) and takes the appropriate action to apply proper care to bring relief from whatever ailment as soon as physically possible. He also possess an excellent personality and sense of humor which is so helpful when our health is in question effecting our quality of life. I recently moved 30 miles from Lowell, but will not change my PCP. Whether 30 or 100 miles, Lowell Family Medical Care, PC is where I will travel to receive the best medical care possible. Why? Dr. John Grieveson.

Reading these were a wow factor ~not dismissing anyone else's experience but it did make me realize…read morehow we mostly remember to "yelp" when we're upset rather than pleased or grateful. So I'd like to do that now. I've been with Chelmsford Family for 20+ yrs & are very happy with them & have not had any issues so severe. It's always clean. Every single nurse (esp Sue!) have ALWAYS been helpful, thorough and empathetic to every sick visit (my family of 5 all go here ) over the yrs. I started with Dr Byrne for my first born and Dr Scott stepped In for him when he retired. Altho he was an adequate Dr (this was a joke between my husband and I lol, cuz he was fine but not thorough ) I find Dr. Scott much more competent, thorough and just easier to talk to. And she's great with my kids which to me - is everything. Dr Nguyen is my boys' Dr and he's great with them too! Now the front desk can be curt but I will say they always call me back. They always keep me in the loop when I need something and they've never been rude to me, but I can see how they would have bad busy days sometimes ... trying to take care of so many different issues for everybody. It must be tolling. So in summation, this practice is pretty great. I would and do recommend them to my friends and family.

I would rather take my chances as Kristi Noem's puppy than ever allow Kathryn Maier to be in charge…read moreof my care. :~) Just because you CAN become a doctor doesn't mean you SHOULD. I've never met a healthcare professional with such an abhorrent bedside manner, I would recommend that she work behind a desk all day instead of with patients, but that doesn't seem fair to subject the computer to. She speaks to patients with disgust, disdain, presumption, condescension, and blatant animosity. The way she practices can only be described as lazy, spiteful, and petty; it is clear when you meet with her that she has no intention of helping you get better, her superiority complex prevents her from acting with the patients' best interests in mind, and instead she tosses out diagnoses to make her job easy. Any attempts to advocate for yourself are mocked and ignored, and the clinical notes are written with the intention of making her patients appear like stupid hypochrondriacs for daring to speak up. Lucky for her patients though, she very rarely actually documents the care she provides, and only seems to upload notes when she sees fit. The three notes that she DID write while I was under her care were: 1. Written "with the help" of AI, 2. Had many typos, and 3. Clearly took inspiration from Regina George in Mean Girls when writing the Burn Book. I came to this practice for years seeking help, but they refused to provide me with the care that I needed because they found it easier to blame all everything on me and accuse me of making myself sick. Turns out that it wasn't "anxiety" -- it was a tumor! :-) If you need a new PCP, you're genuinely better off relying on WebMD or asking someone who watches Grey's Anatomy for advice.

And when you call back to get any sort of help, you get screamed at by the oncall doctor who is unhelpful, and does not understand empathy or pain of patients who have to do so much to advocate for themselves over and over again to get access to SINGLE MEDICATION? I came at 1:45pm to be seen. After 5pm, the prescription finally gets sent out. When it gets sent out, I'm on the phone with over 5+ pharmacies, over and over again who all say they dont have the medication, but they do have the elixir form. I call the oncall doctor (who is not my doctor because I'm running out of time, and pharmacies will close) to see she can send the elixir form and she starts screaming at me saying I shouldn't be using the phone. Rupa Reddy, you're a sick awful severely deranged person. I have had a severe mouth sores for over a week hoping they can help, and now the day is over, everyone left, and I did not receive my medication, and I'm in severe pain. Thats just how awful this office is, they don't give a shit about their patients.

My husband and I recently moved to the area and needed a new primary care physician. I researched…read morethe area and saw Chelmsford Primary Care had great reviews, and that Dr. Sun was accepting new patients. My husband and I got our appointments within 2 weeks of contacting the practice and they were one right after another which made it so easy for us. When we arrived, the women at the front desk were SO kind and helpful, and they truly made us feel at home right away. The medical assistant (she had pink hair) was so friendly and very good at her job. Dr. Sun is easily the best PCP I've ever had, and I knew that right off the bat. Not only is she incredibly warm and kind, but she is thorough, upbeat, understanding and truly listens when you bring up a concern. She made me feel comfortable within seconds of meeting her and I could tell she not only cares deeply about her patients, but she is an excellent doctor. My husband had an equally positive experience with her. We are very happy to have found Chelmsford Primary Care and Dr. Sun, and we hope to be patients here for many years to come.
